Re: Marist Linux and OSA-Express

2002-10-16 Thread Vic Cross
Anne, It would appear that OSA-E is not (at this time) supported by the Marist system. The problem you see is happening because your OSA-Express is not an OSA -- OSA refers to the pre-Express OSA cards, or an OSA defined in LCS mode. If there\'s not an option that says \"QDIO\" or \"OSA-Express\

NSS is "Named Saved System". You can take a snap-shot of a running (or runnable) system on VM which CP (the hypervisor part of VM) will store into a spool file. You can then IPL that system by name, rather than boot by device. The syntax of the IPL command is (gross simplification)
